Slartibartfast Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Nice images from the China air show... nice to see something Eastern for a change... Quote
+JediMaster Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 That's the first time I've seen pictures of, let alone even heard of, China's J-10 display team. You have to admit a camo refueling probe cover on that bright paint scheme is funny though! Quote
Silverbolt Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Nice shots - thanks for posting ditto! Quote
Nesher Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 really cool pics... I'm not sure but the JF-17 reminds of several other jets Quote
+FastCargo Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Nesher, I was thinking the same thing...it kind of reminds me of the F-16s wings, with the F-20s fuselage, and a Gripen's nose area. Before any fanboys get in an uproar, I'm not implying anything, it would take more work to do such a thing then to just scratch build one...similar missions/requirements can sometimes tend to dictate similar designs.

Yup, and that's you you get the Raptor-ski Quote
+JediMaster Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 The funny thing is how it looks to be a closer relative to the F-5/20 than the F/A-18 is, and that IS an F-5-derived design. Considering how many F-5s are still flying today, though, speaks volumes about the utility of such a design. Quote

+Coupi Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Hi, JF-17/FC-1 seems to be a good looking design! Also... air intakes look like F-35 air intakes... Pakistan must have compared JF-17 overall performances with their F-16... ... it would be interesting to know this testing!!! Thank you Fam for your pictures and movie. Coupi.
